speaker boehner's right about that. we can't kick the can down the road. but that means doing a lot of things that are painful to people on all sides of the equation. but it's the only way that it gets it done. i hope the president responds positively to this. i mean, we can nitpick it. surely we can point out when bill clinton raised taxes on the top 2% of americans it produced a greatest period of economic growth in the last 60 years. 23 million new jobs created so i don't know that speaker boehner's contention of a job killer to do that is correct. >> right. >> the evidence shows that it's incorrect but look. the bottom line is the speaker says he's willing to accept revenue. i hope he's speaking for a majority of his caucus. if he is, we have a chance to do some really good things. >> steve? >> yeah. governor, we have been down this road, though, before. i remember republicans before when we had the grand bargain negotiation summer of 2011 and unlike republicans saying we're likely to accept new revenue and talking about the thing that mitt romney prop
